Blizzard Blast: ESRI Offers Snowfall Forecast Map
ESRI, the leading GIS
software producer, and its Disaster Response Program has created a web mapping
application designed to show the accumulation of snowfall over the Northeast
U.S. for the next few days. The map uses
snowfall predictions from the National Weather Service, and the totals include
ranges over two feet in depth.
Users can pan and zoom the
map and identify personal locations.
Using the “Places” option, the New York metropolitan area or the
Northeast can be shown. Snowfall totals
are given in six-hour intervals through January 28. Most of the coastal area can expect from two-
to three-feet of snow.
ESRI GIS software is
available in the Ball State University Libraries’ GIS Research and Map
Collection (GRMC), and a GIS Specialist is available for assistance. Computers in the Educational Technology and
Resources Collection in the lower level of Bracken Library and computers in the
Architecture Library also include the latest ESRI GIS software.
For more information about
using GIS for research and learning, please contact Angela Gibson, GIS
Specialist, at 765-285-1097.
